A portable electronic audio Bible player is useful for sharing God's word with illiterate people. There are many people groups in the world who have an oral culture. This means that they have no written language and all their history and culture is passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. When missionaries try to reach these people groups with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, they first have to learn the language and then create a written form of the language. They usually start with a New Testament translation into the new written form of the language, followed possibly by an Old Testament translation. The missionaries then have to teach these people to read.
This is a very difficult and time-consuming process with often only a small percentage of the population in the people group ever learning to read. For these people, access to the Holy Bible is thus restricted. If a narration of the new translation is recorded, then this can easily be made available on a portable digital audio Bible player. In this way, God's word can be made far more accessible to oral cultures.
An illiterate person is far more likely to be motivated to learn to read God's word once they have heard it and realise its great value.
Besides the estimated billion people who are completely illiterate, there are many more people who can read but do not. This probably means that about half the world's population do not read. These people would also benefit from access to God's word via a portable audio Bible player.
Elderly people often struggle to read due to failing sight and energy. A portable audio Bible player can be an immense blessing to an elderly person.
Even for those who read very frequently and love to read God's word for themselves, a portable audio Bible player is very useful for listening to God's word when their eyes are otherwise occupied. For example, while driving or doing housework it is not practical to read, but you could still benefit greatly by using your ears while at the same time taking your mind off the drudgery of the task at hand.
